Les Mis - Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere: "My Vietnam excursion (11.19 through 11.30) means I'll be missing out of the first wave of Les Miserables press & industry screenings, which will begin with a bang on Saturday, 11.24, or during the Thanksgiving time-off cycle. Universal has set 12.11 as the review embargo date although tweeting responses are cool from the get-go. Les Miz director Tom Hooper and the cast (Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, etc.) will be doing q & s before of after the six screenings slated for 11.24. - Thanks, Cindy

Les Miz Film Will Have New Song and Live Singing; Cameron Mackintosh Reveals All - ""One of the things that impressed me about [director] Tom [Hooper] when he first showed his interest in being the director of the movie is that he both embraced the score and also wanted to create live sound, and get the excitement of the performance and the depth that you only get…by recording it live. Over the last four or five years, technology has moved so far that it is now something that is possible to try. I'm sure we're going to learn a lot on the way, but we're all up for that adventure."

The types of role include villagers, passers-by, nuns, students, military officers, and convicts. “It is quite easy to get in to, but you must be able to take direction well of course, plus be able to easily reach Chatham. “Filming itself starts in March depending on what role the successful candidates are handed.” (Dockyard Chatham)-- Thanks, Steph, Caliope.

1/9/2012 - From Collider: Universal has released the official synposis for the new feature adaptation of Les Miserable, with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Eddie Redmayne confirmed to star. Here’s the thrust of it:
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption–a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
